OMG...puke. Your exactly right. I'm embarrassed. Asmuth and elevation are so close, but 4° off on the skew, suprised it even showed me signal? Oh well, thos is what makes it a fun hobby. Thanks again!

Damn. Thanks. Disappointing, but you saved me from wasting time pulling my hair out.

Guys, I'm at camp trying to get the 2 Grand Junction stations on G17. (Ku) I got 8 channels of CGTN on the horizontal side with great signal, but a blind scan gave me nothing vertical. TP I'm looking for is 12128 V 8750, but I am having a brain fart and totally overthinking this....forgot the...

Thanks guys. Really bummed about the Colorado stations. Strange I couldn't pick up any quality on that frequency, even though the channel not broadcasting? Definitely was locked on G17, the news channel was CGTN America/Africa/China news plus 4 sub-channels and 5 audio. The "List" shows it on...

Hey guys! Long time since I have posted here, but I really neef the help of my genius friends here in the community. I havd been locked on g17 with a cheapie 33"dish and universal lnb, thru a Pansat 2700a for about 8 years at my camp, enjoying the live feeds from ABC News One. Well, that...

Couple of great points brought up here. Use a "data transponder" for that sat from The List @ SatelliteGuys.US_TheList - 83.0°W AMC 9 Ku to get your aiming in the ballpark, then you can fine-tune with other TP's. You said you have a sat finder and get good signal? This sounds more like (as Jim...

Hey guys, Verizon only had Motorola (and Cisco) open up the eSATA port for external storage. Any eSATA EHD should work as long as it is formatted for UDP. Verizon recommends (only supports) Western Digital and sells them thru their website.

Hey, I'm just appreciative to have 3 chan's on KU @ camp without having to adjust dish! PBJ for the kids weekends, RTV for mom and Tuff TV for hunting season! Turning in to a nice FTA newbie sat for beginners (like me). Thanks!

Hey guys, you gotta remember that an amplifyer can only "push" a good signal, it cannot "pull" a bad signal... If your LNB is only picking up a weak signal, an amp is only amplifying a bad signal. As FaT Air was implying, it should only be used to push a clean signal from the LNB to overcome a...

Absolutely! PLEASE DON'T LAUGH AT MY TEMPORARY SET UP! I just threw this pipe up on my porch when I brought the whole set up home to figure the problem out. It's only a 1" pipe but I have a pvc sleeve under the bracket. It is ugly and doesn't look that secure but IT IS PLUMB! In the pic, the...

Turns ot the elevation adjustment on the bracket was about 11 degrees off! Gotta love an eBay-special dish... Good sig/quality on G28 data tp's, smart scan found a whopping 2 channels! BTV-1 and BYU-TV. ABC News Now/News One has moved to G17 (Iceberg's post). This was a huge monkey off my back...

Thanks a bunch FaT Air! Going out to give it another shot right now. I'll letcha know what I get. No obstructions (at camp, where I started this project) or here at home. I set evertything up on my porch, where I have a wide open view of the south. One other question concerning the LNB...

OK. With a new universal LNB, no difference ; 75% signal, 0quality. To answer a previous question, I have NEVER been able to get a linearLNB to line up. I do not have a signal meter and I am using the STB as a meter(with a new 3’ RG6 coax jumper and a 13” TV right there, watching the screen).I...

Thanks for all the great inffo guys. Still no good. I set up G17, G28 and AMC9 manually and still cnnot get any quality on the meter. I threw my Dish500 back up just to re-verify by box and coax. I brought my whole set-up home with me to Pittsburgh just to have internet access and time to mess...

Hello gang! I have a couple questions to throw out there...I'm hoping some of you can help me get my FTA set up working. Some of you have helped me before, to get the right components in place to pick up some FTA signals at my camp in north-central Pennsylvania. I have a 33" dish with a...

WOW! I mean WOW!!! First off, I cannot believe that I have learned more in half a day than I have in the last 6 months! Lesson learned, surround yourself with good people (members of Sat Guys) and don't be embarrased to ask questions! RADAR, that was AWESOME info, I like most, understand best...

Hey gang, FTA newbie here. Bought a camp in the mountains of Pennsylvania with a DN500 hanging outside (think it's 18"). Bought a $40 eBay Pansat 2700(not a clone) and was perfectly happy with having only ION TV & NASA TV. Since they have been removed, I've toyed with pointing to some different...
